JayGOuIar,s CllnrcI1yarll.

Jay Gould's project of establishing
a railroad town in the West reminds
the Philadelphia Record of the story
of the summary manner in which
he wrought vengeance upon a COM
munity that had incurred his dis
pleasure. When the great strike
was on, one year ago, on the Mis-
souri, Pacific and other Western
lines controlled by Jay Gould the
town of Sedalia, No., was thriving
place. 1t was what is commonly
known as a railroad town. Car
shops were located there, and Sedal-
ia bore. about the same relation to
the Gould railroads in Missouri
that Altoona bears to the Penn
sylvania Railroad in this State
During the strike the storekeepers
and traders of the town supported
the railroad employees and called
mass meetings in their aid. Trav-
elers who now pass the place are
told that Jay Gould thought the
sedalia people had gone futher than
the occasion demanded. He became
incensed at their activity, and it il
reported that when the story o.
their doings was laid before him he
exclaimed: "Within year 1 will
turn that town into a churchyard.
The strike ended in failure. Jay
Gould ordered the removal ofthe car
shops Ind all of his railroad prop
erty. Within month the town o
sedalia began to show signs ofdecay

TEACH OBEDIENCE.
what a Reform Expert says
About the BEGINNING OF Crime.

Many a passionate child rules the
household. The little baby on its
mothers knee goes into a passion
because it's dinner is withheld from
him, or some toy denied him. He
shrieks, and strikes his mother, and
the mother says: "Poor little boy, he
has such passionate nature; he
can't be crossed" and yields to him.
She ought tospank him-spank him
hard for being in a passion, and
give him nothing till his passion has
cooled. The child, though he be SO
young he cannot speak, if he be old
enough to lift his fist and strike a
blow, deserves punishmenta and needs
to have lesson of repression taught
it. The mother who neglects this
increases the chances of her sons
going to the gallows. When the
child is older, there are better dis
ciplinary punishments than spank
ing; but when the child reaches
such an age that they are useful,
it may be too late; his temper may
have grown into a dominating force
in his character that cannot be erad-
icated. Mothers sometimes say,
when child shows a vile temper
and shrieks a good deal. that II
would endanger its life to punish
him; perhaps SO, but you still more
endanger his future if you don't
punish him. Many gallows trag-
edy has had its beginning on the
mothers lap.
Day by day see the criminals,
hundreds of them-thousands of
them in the course of the year
1 see scores of broken-hearted par
ents wishing rather that their sons
had never been born than they had
lived to bear such burdens of shame
and digrace. 1 hear the wailing of
disappointed mothers, and see hu-
inflated fathers crying like children
because of the sins of their children
I see mothers growing gray be-
tween the successive visits in which
they come to inquire about the boy
iu prison. And seeing these dread
full things still my heart aches and
